Where does color come from?

• Without light, color does not exist.• Light is broken down into colors of
the spectrum. You can often see a variety of colors in a bright beam when you look at something like a rainbow.
Color• Color can alter
the appearance of form and space.

Pigments• Pigments are
substances that can be ground into fine powder and used for adding color to dyes and paints.
• Pigments were originally derives from animal, mineral, and vegetable sources.
• Examples:– Purple from shellfish– Red dye from the dried bodies of
scale insects
The Color Wheel• The color wheel is
a basic tool we use when working with colors.
• It is based on the standard color theory known as Brewster/Prang.
• In addition to the traditional color wheel, there are two color systems that are useful when more detailed colors are required.– The Munsell system:
• Has 5 principles hues and 5 intermediate hues. A numbering system helps designers identify the exact hue they need.
– The Ostwald system:• Made from pairs of complementary colors.
The color circle has twenty-four hues.
The Color Wheel• There are 12
hues in the spectrum of color.
• They are divided into three categories…

What happens if you have no color
scheme?
Color Scheme and Mandalas
• Try to make your design with only three colors– A three color combination is a good
starting point. – This is enough to create variation and
visual interest.
Apply the 60 - 30 - 10 Rule for Success
• You should not use equal amounts of the three colors.
• An old designer's rule is to divide the colors into percentages of 60, 30, and 10.
Need more colors?
• Sometimes a design require more than three colors.
• Use shades and tints of your main colors.
